Bacalar is the perfect place for lovers of nature and tranquility as well as being full of history, adventure and culture. The town sits on the Lagoon of Seven Colors, a lake nicknamed for its beautifully colored water, which makes it the perfect place for stunning sunsets, fresh seafood, and cenote swimming. If you gaze across its vast waters, you will feel like you`re chilling on the shores of the Caribbean. The artistic and cultural part of Bacalar can be found in the Church of San Joaquín dating from the eighteenth century and where every year is celebrated during the month of August, the Fiesta de San Joaquín, patron of Bacalar.
